O'Neal may take a post at Vision Capital Advisors, a three-year-old
hedge fund specializing in PIPE investments and led by stock and bond trader Adam Benowitz
and Harvard Business School finance professor Randolph Cohen,
BusinessWeek reports, citing people familiar with the situation.
The
article said O'Neal (pictured) was also looking at other opportunities.
O'Neal joined Merrill in 1986, becoming CEO in December 2002. His old
firm is still suffering from the mortgage bets and is now being
sold for $50 billion to Bank of America Corp.
Even though he caught a bad rap for Merrill's losses, O'Neal still has plenty of buddies on the Street. -
